Would he really do whatever it took, though? Astral would put that to the test.
"I love you," he said softly, cupping Simon's cheek with his finger tip.

((Aaaaaaaaa Astral whyyyyyyy))

Simon pulled away from the touch, automatically very uncomfortable. For right now, he had absolutely zero interest in being involved with Astral romantically. Especially when he’d just gotten his memories back. “I’m not really comfortable with that..” he said quietly, afraid Astral would get mad at them.

(Because he's an asssssss)

Astral had to hide his smirk at how uncomfortable Simon was.
"How do you think it would affect the child to grow up in a home where their father and dad can't even say 'I love you' to each other? Or do you even care about the child at all?"

Simon fidgeted with his hands, wanting nothing more than to leave and go back to their room, back where it was actually supposed to be. “But that’s still a long while away…” he mumbled.

"Which leaves you plenty of time to become comfortable with it," Astral said in turn. He moved to put his finger under Simon's chin, tilting his head up to be looking at Astral.

Simon was clearly very unhappy and could not be more uncomfortable right now but what could he do about it. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

"I love you," Astral repeated, clearly expecting Simon to just bite the bullet and say it back.

Simon shook his head slightly. He couldn’t do it, he wasn’t ready. But he didn’t have a choice. He looked down, saying it quietly. “I love you too..”

Astral smiled as Simon gave in, moving to press a gentle kiss to Simon's head.
"See? That wasn't so hard now, was it?"

Simon didn’t respond, there was nothing he wanted or needed to say at the moment. He wanted to go back to sleep already.

Astral finally took Leo completely from his hand to set in the room, hand coming back up so he could focus solely on Simon. He ran his finger over Simon's cheek again, smirking some.

Simon didn’t want to let go of his friend. He didn’t want to be alone up here, the thought scared him. But once again, it wasn’t his choice. Nothing ever seemed to be his choice these days.

"My precious Simon," Astral said softly. Cooing like one would to a pet. He was still smirking, pulling Simon into a hug.

Simon hated it more than words could describe. But he wasn’t allowed to feel that way so he shut it down quickly. Simon was a bit surprised by the hug, it managing to pull himself back out of his thoughts.

"You might not believe it, but you really do mean so much to me…" Astral held Simon gently to his chest, not quite looking at him as one finger gently rubbed his back to try to help him relax.

He didn’t really believe it, not at all. But he appreciated the gentle touches, managing to relax just slightly.

Astral was glad when he felt Simon relax, continuing with the gentle touches. He let out a small hum, thinking for a moment. His finger went to Simon's cheek, and in a moment he was full size, sitting in Astral's lap. Astral held Simon close still, resting his chin on Simon's shoulder.

Being back to full size actually helped some, Astral’s hold felt less restricting now. And he could actually enjoy this if he pretended this was anyone but Astral. But that was way too risky so he wouldn’t do it.

Astral picked up rubbing Simon's back, humming a small tune. He let his eyes close, relaxing. This was nice…

Simon let his own eyes slide shut after a few moments. He didn’t necessarily like this….but at the same time it was free affection and he wouldn’t turn that down.

Simon would be getting plenty of 'free' affection from Astral. He had given his soul up already, after all, and his body had been taken.
All Astral needed now was his mind.

And there was a very high likelihood that it would get much less enjoyable, and come at a higher price of what he needed to give Astral first. But for now, this was good.

It was. Astral moved his head so the bridge of his nose was resting against Simon's shoulder instead of his chin digging in, letting out a small breath. His arms were wrapped gently around Simon, letting him move and have some freedom. Who knew how long it would last?

Simon doubted it’d last for long, which was why he was doing his best to enjoy what he was being given right now. This..this really did feel nice.

Astral smiled softly, relaxed. He could fool himself into thinking Simon really loved him for the time. He let out a happy hum, rubbing small circles against the small of Simon's back.

((Astral you’re one to talk lmao))

It helped with the tension, Simon’s muscles relaxing under Astral’s touch. He stayed quiet the whole time, trying not to accidentally do something that’d make Astral upset.

There was wasn't much Simon could do to make Astral upset at the moment besides trying to leave. The god was glad to feel Simon relax, continuing with the motion.

Simon actually did like this. And he hated that. He shouldn’t like this, not when it was from Astral. But his body seemed to not line up with his mind on that opinion, as he felt himself grow more relaxed.

Astral could tell. He knew how much Simon liked this, and it just made him smile. The god let his eyes close, moving to rub more of Simon's back. Such a good feeling, holding Simon…

Simon felt himself starting to drift off. He really hadn’t slept well last night after all. Still, he fought the urge, not trusting Astral to let him sleep undisturbed. Or without doing anything weird to him.
